[PHP-DB] RE Viewing Session Varibles
Seems to me that the problem might be in the logic (correct me if I'm wrong
- likely - but...)
In these lines :
foreach ($cart as $id = $qty)
{
if ($$id == 0)
{
unset ($cart[$id]);
.
[snip]
You unset $cart[$id] if $$id==0. Now, if you are using numeric array
indexes, then for example $id might be '12' (number or string, it don't
matter). So what you're asking of php is to get $$id, that works out as $12
, which I guess is not a variable name.
Not being a variable it will return false (or zero) and so $$id==0 will
be true, your if statement executes and unsets the value for $cart[$id],
which *is* a valid variable name. Could you replace $$id==0 with
isset($$id) and see if you get the same results?
Cheers,
Neil Smith.

Ok,
This is driving me nuts. I'm sure its something simple but I can't seem to
find the glitch.
I'm trying to make a simple shopping cart using Session varibles to store
the item = quantity pairs, then I loop thru the cart and query the db to
get the item details, etc.. Most of it works fine but whenever I add a new
item to the cart I lose the $qty value for the other items.

[PHP-DB] ODBC_EXECUTE has a DANGEROUS 'feature'!!!
Hi folks,
I don't know if everyone ever knew this, but I haven't been able to
find anything about this, anywhere...
odbc_execute has a very dangerous 'feature'. I would like to call it
a bug, because someone has implemented it on purpose I should call
it a feature...
odbc_execute takes two arguments; the statement to be executed, and
an array containing the parameters for this statement. So far so
good. Works perfectly. In the parameters you can put any data. Any
data! So you can enter characters like eg. , *, %... you name it.
You can also enter single quotes ('). Nice. Noop... not nice. If you
put a single quote at the start of the parameter and at the end PHP
does something very scary... it reads the _file_(!) and stores it in
the database. So if you would have a parameter:
'myname'
you would get an error telling you that the file myname couldn't
be opened. But... if you use this parameter:
'/etc/passwd'
No problem! The contents of your password file is stored in the
database. Any file readable for your webserver can be 'used' this
way. Any file!
So, imagine you have some site containing a textarea input in the
form, some user can easily type:
'/etc/passwd'
and then submit the form. When you also have the possibility on this
site for the user to take a look at the data he entered (and this is
a very common feature), he gets to see the contents of your password
file. And he can do this with any file(). As long as it's
readable for the webserver, users can very easily get the contents
of the file!
And... is it documented? NO Nowhere. Not the mailinglists, not
the documentation, not the bugreport, not even in the sources
itself. It's just there!
Some security huh?!

Yes, you can re-select from the same database without opeing a new
connection.
I recommend that you print the contents od $newquery to verify it contains
the string you think it should. Perhaps the apostrophes you've enclosed the
$row[] variable are not expanding.

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/ufr2/underfoot-www/admin/dupeshows.html on line 51 I notice that others have addressed your PHP/interfacing issues... You asked about theory. The current solution will require n+1 calls to the database (where there are n-rows in the local_shows table). That's quite 'expensive'. Which is likely to be the 'best tool for the job' - an external scripting language (PHP) or the RDBMS itself (MySQL)? Consider a 'MySQL-oriented' solution:- 1 if the two fields (show_date and venue) were made into a UNIQUE index, then the check would become superfluous because MySQL would ensure the situation never arose - at the cost of the time to perform the check/index insertion at every row INSERT or UPDATE (although you may gain a speed increase for certain SELECTS) 2 performing the existing PHP routine using SQL - you show only a list of 'duplicates' (and no DELETE), so: select show_date, venue, count(*) as freq from local_shows group by show_date, venue having freq1 will give you what you have attempted to code thus far.

Hello,
something that you can help is the follow
try var_dump($newquery);
then you see the complete query and run it in phpmyadmin.

Subject: [PHP-DB] MySQL / PHP Database Help
I'm trying to write a script that checks for multiple entries on a table
in
a database. So far I've been plagued by MySQL errors. I'm fairly
confident
my scripting is ok (Then again, I've been wrong before.) I think
moreover
there might be some difficulty with my theory. Then again, I could try
and
do this with MySQL join statements. Any feedback would be appreciated.
$sqlquery = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM local_shows);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sqlquery)) {
$newquery = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM local_shows WHERE
show_date='$row[show_date]' AND venue='$row[venue]');
var_dump($newquery); /* for example to see the query */
while ($row2 = mysql_fetch_array($newquery)) {
$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($row2);
if ($num_rows1) {
print etc etc (Do things with my $row2 data)
I get loads of:
Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in
/home/ufr2/underfoot-www/admin/dupeshows.html on line 51
Can you not reselect in another while while selecting? Does that make
any
sense to anyone but me? I shouldent have to open another DB connection?
Anyhow... your I would appreciate any help.

[PHP-DB] Searching Documents
I was wondering if there is a way to search documents. Scenario: I have a application where it uploads MS Word documents to a server and holds the documents location in the database. What I want is to be able to search those Word documents via keywords.

Re: [PHP-DB] addslashes()
It shouldn't. It will affect any or ' coming out. For example, for going in to db: $mystring = Hi there Mr O'Neil.; $mystring = addslashes($mystring); echo $mystring; would result in Hi there Mr O\'Neil. When coming out of db make sure you use the stripslashes function to return the original value that was created upon entry $mystring = stripslashes($mystring); would result back to Hi there Mr O'Neil.

RE: [PHP-DB] addslashes()
Paul, Sorry for the confusion... Ok.. I have an application where it organizes candidates for positions for HR. There is a Notes field where they can update actions with the potential candidate. Now this can be when this person has been contacted, conversations, or just to say this person is not available, etc. There may be a point where quotes need to be added to quote a candidate, or I wanted to give them the option of adding HTML tags to the field so that when someone looks at the person's record, that the HTML will be displayed. It wasn't just the HTML that was causing problems, but the quotes as well. So... If I add.. Joe Blow said blah blah blah the query wouldn't execute. But if I did Joe Blow said, blah blah blah, it works fine. I know HTML isn't as touchy and you can actually do without the quotes, ie, font color=redBLAH/font it will still display red font. The weird thing is that I have a Job Posting section and when you update or edit an exsisting job and add HTML, it works fine without the addslashes() function, but with the Edit Candidate, it craps out... Weird, both are practically carbon copies of each other, database field is both set to TEXT and both queries are the same structure.

[PHP-DB] Dealing with Quotation marks
Does anyone know how to deal with this problem? If a user enters in a text box; O'Connor's 2 x 3 When you print it out on the next web page it reads; O\'Connor\'s 2\ x 3\ I have written a function to take care of this, but when you try to write it to the database you get an error of unmatched quotation marks.

Why is that? One works and the other doesn't? Good question. It may be that they really behave the same and you don't know it because you're entering different kinds of information into them and thus not triggering the bug for one of them. Or it may be that they're not really *exactly* the same. You can test the first possibility by swapping the information that you enter into the two fields. If the one that works now fails and the one that fails now works, then you have two non-working fields and didn't realize it due to having not tried a sufficient range of values.

Good luck. :-) Alternatively, tell them to signal special constructs using a syntax that doesn't overlap HTML so that you can recognize the constructs and transform them to HTML when you render a Web page. Alternatively, tell them that if they want to include literal characters like or , they must enter them as lt; or gt;.

Re: [PHP-DB] MySQL / PHP Database Help
Jonathan, [have put the cc back to the list] Is it possible to make BOTH the date and venue into a single unique index? =Why not? Like a good woman, treat her right, and SQL will do almost anything for you: 6.5.3 CREATE TABLE Syntax CREATE [TEMPORARY] TABLE [IF NOT EXISTS] tbl_name [(create_definition,...)] [table_options] [select_statement] create_definition: col_name type [NOT NULL | NULL] [DEFAULT default_value] [AUTO_INCREMENT] [PRIMARY KEY] [reference_definition] orPRIMARY KEY (index_col_name,...) orKEY [index_name] (index_col_name,...) orINDEX [index_name] (index_col_name,...) ... Note the ellipses (...) at the end of that last line - many people are used to writing [PRIMARY] KEY or INDEX immediately after field name and definition, forgetting that if it is a separate clause of the CREATE stmt, multiple columns may be specified! (Not that this works for me.) But I'm qcurious about this. I understand where this could be useful as a single unique index.. (as opposed to two unique indexes) Is this possible? How so? =yes it is possible, as above. =the short answer is: wherever you find yourself doing SELECT...WHERE field/index-condition1 AND field/index-condition2 =If only the first field/column is indexed, then obviously the SELECT will be faster than when accessing an unindexed table. However if there is a large fan-out between the two fields columns, (ie there are a large number of different values in field/column2 which share the same value in field/column1) then it may pay to combine the two fields into a single index for even faster results. Of course, the smaller your table, the harder it is to 'see' any return on the investment! (In my case multiple entries are ok, just as long as I can run a report to spot them, and then edit them which usually requires human interaction.) =If your system's data-entry stage is time-constrained then I would be tempted to agree. Otherwise conventional wisdom suggests that it is better to prevent 'dirty' data entering the system or data integrity issues creeping in, than it is to develop a strategy to 'clean' the db post-fact. Usually the person entering the data knows most about it - or has the best opportunity to ask the 'data source' for clarification! Your second suggestion worked rather well... although its not quite generating the output that would be best suited to me. The MySQL docs on Group By and Count are quite weak.. do you have something else you could send me / can you explain these commands. I was sure there is / was a way to do it in MySQL my SQL just isn't what it should be. =if you post the code you've developed thus far, and some sample source data and results, together with some specific criticism, we might be able to help with issues like best suited, or tweak the code I sent earlier to provide for situations that may not have been evident (at least to me) in your first post. =GROUP BY and COUNT() can be combined in many different ways, so what seems straightforward on the surface can yield enormous power when you start to tinker under the hood. I assume what you mean is that the manual is not really a tutorial. =Apart from the manual, I use books (I've picked up a few over the years - some probably now out of print; Paul DuBois' MySQL is current and the most specific - and has a PHP interface chapter, plus other more-PHP books, eg Welling Thomson) and there are a number of tutorial web sites either covering SQL generally or MySQL in particular (start at the MySQL site or any search engine). =Regards, =dn -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I'm designing a search page and I need to keep the search variable alive even after i refresh the page, I'm already using a string in the url and I can't register a global variable because that would limit the search page to one user at a time. How can I get the search string back into the pag? Any Ideas. -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

That's the same as cookies, isn't it you have to either store the id in a cookie or at the end of the url I can't store it at the end of the url and i don't want to use cookies.

[PHP-DB] PHP CGI Problems.....
I am trying to put PHP into a template HTML document that is used by a CGI script. The PHP script isn't working at all - and even when I put some generic line of PHP (an echo), it doesn't turn out. Could the CGI be causing this? Is it possible to compile PHP to allow it in CGI files?

[PHP-DB] Double spacing e-mail content..
I have set up a php form that allows me to fill in the information and then it e-mails the information to the specified e-mail address. On the second step the informatioin is poseted to the screen so I can see exactly what the e-mail is going to look like. The problem I am having is that the content within the e-mail is getting double spaced. I thought I had this fiqured out when I sent it to a dirrerent e-mail address and it appeard to be fine with no double spacing. So my conclusiion was that it must be how it is getting parsed. Now all of the sudden it is double spacing only the bottom half of the e-mail with the top o.k... Thoughts..Ideas...Suggestions?? I have three pages in my program these are.. generalForm.html - Form to be filled in. emailBody.html - the file that contains all the verbage with varibles that are filled in with the forms submissioin values. createEmail.php - This file first posts the e-mail to the screen with a submit button that allows you to send the e-mail if everything appears to be correct.

[PHP-DB] Table Relationships
In databases, after creating a number of tables, one could usually set relationships (or some call it relations) between these tables, by tying some reference number in one table with the id (or index) in another table for example, or just making any other kinds of relationships between tables for any other reason. I used to do relationships between tables when I used Microsoft Access. My question is: Does MySQL enable you to create relationships between tables after you create the tables? If so, how (what are the commands from the command prompt?) -- Ashraf Al Shafaki ICQ me at 144936414 -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

[PHP-DB] Re: Table Relationships
Hi there. You bet you can have relationships between tables! You accomplish this by setting primary keys and foreign keys when you create you tables. When you assign a unique identifier to a table not only do you assign a name such as employeeid for example, you also have to set it as the primary key. Here's a link to the mysql website: http://www.mysql.com/doc/C/R/CREATE_TABLE.html Notice the primary option beside the auto_increment option, you'll no doubt need to use that as well to ensure you create the proper relationships between entities.

[PHP-DB] Calculate a value during the SQL command
I know I could very easily do this after doing the initial database call simply by calculating the two variables, but, I was wondering if there was a way to do this during the sql statement so my results would already have my answer... Here's the setup. I have two tables. Table A has the information about a mailing. Table B has an individual record for each click generated by the e-mail. They look like this: TableA ID // unique identifier mail_date mail_qty // shows how many mails were sent TableB ID // unique identifier mail_ID // matches up with the ID in Table A mem_ID // the member's unique code Here is what I thought was going to work (but didn't): SELECT mail_date, mail_qty, count(*) as clicks, ((clicks / mail_qty)*100) as percentage FROM TableA, TableB WHERE mail_ID = TableA.ID GROUP BY mail_ID What I was hoping to get back was something like this: | mail_date | mail_qty | clicks | percentage | | 2001-02-05 | 1000 | 100 | 10 | If I need to do this the long way, it's not a huge deal, but, I thought this may be something I could do... I hope I explained that good enough. Thanks for your help! __ Do You Yahoo!? Send FREE Valentine eCards with Yahoo!

This kind of question really belongs on the PHP General List, since it isn't
db related.
That said, look at the preg_replace function:

And use the \b escape in your search string:
